Changes to the packaging of Tegretol Prolonged Release 200mg and 400mg
From April 2012 the UK packaging of Tegretol Prolonged Release 200mg and 400mg tablets is changing. This is happening because Novartis – who make Tegretol - has changed the site that it uses for packaging Tegretol Prolonged Release tablets. This used to be carried out in the UK, but is now done in Italy in the same plant where the tablets are manufactured. Novartis has reassured us that there are no changes whatsoever to the tablets contained in each packet.
